“A hacker named ROR[RG] broke into online dating site Adult FriendFinder and the exposed personal information of about 3.5 million users, including their sexual preferences and fetishes.
The hack took place in March and was first discovered by a web developer who blogged about it in April, but the site wasn’t named until Britain’s Channel 4 revealed it this week.
The dating site boasts its ability to accommodate the desires of its clientele of more than 64 million subscribers who seek a range of romantic and sexual encounters.
“Adult FriendFinder has helped millions of people find traditional partners, swinger groups, threesomes, and a variety of other alternative partners,” its website reads.
When users sign up, they are encouraged to detail their sexual preferences, including their personal desires. This information — in addition to email addresses, passwords, birthdays, and zip codes — was revealed through the hack.” *
